This saddle fitting service covers assessing one horse for 60-75 minutes - please let us know if you need to book in more than one horse. Some saddle work may be able to be completed within this appointment, and Chris aims to re-pack on site where possible. Note that bookings at Seagrove Equestrian in Waiau Pa may mean we can book you in earlier than if we need to come to you.
Saddle fitter Chris Barnett has over 18 years training & experience and will:
- Check / refit your existing saddles
- Recommend / supply new saddle options as required
- Quote any additional saddle work required to improve the fit on your horse.
Saddle repairs, repacking & gullet adjustments
Chris will try to work with your saddle where possible and will be able to suggest and carry out alterations to improve your saddle fit. Improving the fit of an existing saddle may include repacking, or a full strip out, changes to gullet size, and more.
Chris will give an indication of the cost for any saddle work at the time of your saddle fitting. Where possible repacking and saddle repair is done on site immediately. For more complex saddle work, Chris will offer to take your saddle and give you a completion date.
New saddles for sale
We sell and fit a wide range of beautiful new saddles by Albion, Erreplus, GFS, Amerigo, Pessoa, Trainers Wintec and Bates.
If you think your current saddle is unsuitable for your horse or you wish to view new saddles, let us know ahead of time and Chris can bring new saddle options with him, and fit your choice to your horse. He is also able to template on the day if you choose to move towards a custom made option.
We don’t sell or advise on second hand saddles as there are just too many factors that we can’t control, which can affect the quality of service we aspire to. We focus on the great quality brands we stock which can be expertly fitted to your horse by Chris.
Your saddle fitting appointment
We will be in touch by phone or email to organise a good time for your saddle fitting and to request photos of your horse's back so we can bring suitable saddle options to your saddle fitting. If you are hoping to purchase a new saddle, let us know as much detail as possible, and we will bring the most suitable options.
Please reply with any special requirements and special instructions on getting to your location. By booking our service you agree to our Terms & Conditions. We look forward to meeting you and your horse!
